LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bob Baffert not only has the Kentucky Derby favourite, but two other horses capable of giving him a share of history. Baffert’s two other pupils, Roadster and Improbable, are 5-1 co-second choices that give the Hall of Fame trainer additional chances to win a sixth Derby and tie Ben Jones’ record. The Derby’s only unbeaten horse, 8-1 shot Maximum Security, aims to improve to 5-0 lifetime. He and Game Winner are owned by Gary and Mary West. The field features 19 3-year-old colts who will run 1 1/4 mile in the $3 million race that features a forecast of steady showers.
